Colourful Contemporary Art

My mixed media work is inspired by my life long fascination with fossils, the subject matter is often pollinators and their habitats, this reflection of my environmental concerns is the motivation of much of my work.

I teach drawing, painting, and mixed media, in both private and group lessons. I firmly believe that all people have a need to create, and I delight in helping my students find their creative self. Check out my workshop and classes page.

I also teach mini workshop called pARTys. You invite some friends, I bring the art supplies, and we play!

This is a great team building program or girls night out designed for both the artist and the non-artist.

Partys take approximately 2 hours and are done either in your location or at the Art Emporium in Port Stanley.

I also accept commissioned work, either mixed media or portrait.

Studio visits by luck, or by appointment are welcome.

Mini Shows, Mini Works

cardinal painting spring dawn


February is Mini Show time, and there are a bunch of them out there. The only one I'm planning on entering this year is the one at Portside. A gal could go nuts trying to do 'em all! This little piece is call 'Spring Dawn' and is only 2.5 inches by 3, on terra skin.
I have a connected arts piece to do asap too... I plan to do it before we get the gallery building on February 1, we're gonna be VERY busy getting everything ready so we can open on March 1st, which won't leave a lot of time for painting.
What's connected arts? Glad you asked!




Phillip Schmidt is an amazing explorer/photographer. His photographic work of out of the way, and largely unseen places is breathtaking. He has for several years been putting on a showcase that he calls the 'Connected Arts' where he challenges artists of several disciplines including visual, musical, and literary arts, to interpret one of his photos. His vision being that all of the arts spring from the same well, and are therefore gifts connected in ways most of us don't appreciate. He's working to correct that.




Landscape is not my Forte, and I hope I'm up to the challenge. It's an honor to be asked to participate and I'm certainly going to try.
